alistair Didn’t see that coming did ya LT. Your reaction upon learning of the news would have been priceless.
Well considering I’ve been fully aware of Putin’s campaign during last week’s elections in Tblisi and his ongoing campaign in the USA, yes I did expect an upset. Adding Musk to the pot was the key, without him he doesn’t win. Unfortunately there are too many people who think he is Iron Man and Einstein rolled into one. Swing voters, as I mentioned continuously, were the decider and nobody could’ve predicted how insanely idiotic they were - take Montana, Nevada, Arizona and Missouri for example where all these states overwhelmingly voted for the woman’s right to choose alongside voting for the cunt who directly stripped them of that right. Try and make sense of any of that. It looks like people were so overwhelmed by information overload and propaganda that they genuinely had no idea what they were doing.
I don’t have a dog in the race so my reaction was probably the same as yours, meh, sorry to disappoint your little wank. Americans are devoid of help, its a cancerous society on a downward trajectory so what good would it do investing any emotion in it? What I will say is Putin has directly affected elections all over the world to his benefit and the consequences of last night’s election will be felt by us here on the Syrian border and the UK economy is now on thin ice also if Trump follows through with his magic “tariff” plan for the EU, so I wouldn’t be getting too uppity if I were you. I genuinely feel sorry for those who believed Trump’s and Musk’s lies over the last 6 months. It’s sad to think normal, decent people can be manipulated to that level but this is the lay of the political land now all over the place, the oligarchs rule, you can stick your democracy up your hoop. Those days are long gone. Social media has been hijacked (maybe even designed) for elections like this.
